------
Sketch below presents Morrison family information along with Emilie's father's marriage to her mother, Miss Soucier, of Portage des Sioux:
William, James and Jesse Morrison, were natives of the State of New Jersey. William settled at Kaskaskia, Illinois, and made a fortune merchandising. James and Jesse settled in the town of St. Charles, in 1800. In 1804 James went to New Orleans and purchased a hogshead of sugar, and as he returned he peddled it out to the settlers, but had enough left, upon his arrival in St. Charles, to supply the wants of the people of that county for three years. Several years afterwards he and his brother bought the salt works at Boone's Lick, and operated them for sometime. James finally bought his brother's interest in the works, and the latter went to the lead mines at Galena, Illinois. The two brothers married sisters, French ladies, named Saucier, of Portage des Sioux. James Morrison had six children: Adeline, Caroline, Frize, William, James, and another son whose name we could not obtain, and who was killed by an accidental discharge of his gun, the ramrod passing through his head. Adeline married Judge Francis Yosti of St. Charles. Caroline married William G. Pettis. Frize married George Collier. When James Morrison courted his sweetheart she could speak only a few words of broken English, and he could not speak a word of French. So their courtship had to be carried on principally by those glances of the eye which speak love from one soul to another, and it would doubtless have been a very slow process if the lady had not, with true French tact, brought matters to an immediate crisis. When she met him at his school visit, she blushingly inquired: "What for you come here so much? Do you want to marry me? If you do, you must marry me to-morrow, or there is another man who will marry me in two days." That settled the matter, and they were married forthwith (A History of the Pioneer Families of Missouri, with numerous sketches, anecdotes, adventures, etc., relating to Early Days in Missouri" by William S. Bryan and Robert Rose, Published by Bryan,Brand & Co., St. Louis Missouri, 1876).
